Corned Beef Fried Rice
I love corned beef so I get excited this time of year. I was thinking of a new recipe to post when my best friend recommended that I make something with leftover corned beef. It was an excellent idea. Although we didn't agree on what I would attempt to develop, I chose corned beef fried rice. It's a simple dish that doesn't take a lot of ingredients and I love fried rice.
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked corned beef
- 4 cups cooked long grain rice
- 4 large eggs

- 1 tbsp soy sauce to taste
- 2 tsp vegetable or canola oil

Instructions
Advanced Preparation
